There are some very interesting distributions fo variables in the plot matrix. Variable rad has high and low values so the plot shows that the values are concentrated on either side of the plot.
#Correlation matrix#
#calculating the correlation matrix and correlation plot
cor_matrix <- round(cor(Boston),digits = 2)
corrplot(cor_matrix, method="circle", type = "upper", cl.pos = "b", tl.pos = "d", tl.cex = 0.6)
Plotted correlation matrix shows that there is some high correlation between variables: * Correlation is quite clear between industrial areas (indus) and nitrogen oxides (nox). Industry adds pollution in the area. Industry seems to correlate also with variablrs like age, dis, ras and tax. * Nitrogen oxides (nox) correlations are very similar with industry (indus) * Crime rate (crim) seems to correlate with good accessibilitty to radial highways (rad) and value property (tax). * Old houses (age) and employment centers have also something common
#Scaled data# All the variables are numerical so we can use scale()-function to scale whole data set
#Standardize the dataset and print out summaries of the scaled data. How did the variables change?

Prediction were quite good. There was some errors in the middle of the range but classes low and especially high were good. Only one correct representative of high class was predicted to med_low class.
#Reload the Boston dataset and standardize the dataset (we did not do this in the Datacamp exercises, but you should scale the variables to get comparable distances). Calculate the distances between the observations. Run k-means algorithm on the dataset. Investigate what is the optimal number of clusters and run the algorithm again. Visualize the clusters (for example with the pairs() or ggpairs() functions, where the clusters are separated with colors) and interpret the results

#K-means might produce different results every time, because it randomly

One way to determine the number of clusters is to look how the total of within cluster sum of squares (WCSS) behaves when the number of clusters changes. WCSS was calculated from 1 to 15 clusters. The optimal number of clusters is when the total WCSS drops radically. It seems that in this case optimal number of clusters is two. However we are here to learn so I decided to analyse model with four clusters.
After determining the number of clusters I run the K-means alcorithm again
#k-means clustering
km <-kmeans(dist_eu, centers = 4)
# plot the Boston dataset with clusters
pairs(Boston, col = km$cluster)
It seems that when the data is divided to four clusters there is some clear differences in distriputions of several variables. Crim, zn, indus and blacks are variables were one can distinguish clear patterns between clusters. Some variables (rad & tax) show that sometimes 1 or 2 clusters make a clear distripution but observation of other two clusters are ambigious and there is no clear pattern to be regognised.
#BONUS: LDA using clusters as target classes#
#Perform k-means on the original Boston data with some reasonable number of clusters (> 2). Remember to standardize the dataset. Then perform LDA using the clusters as target classes. Include all the variables in the Boston data in the LDA model. Visualize the results with a biplot (include arrows representing the relationships of the original variables to the LDA solution). Interpret the results. Which variables are the most influencial linear separators for the clusters?

Colors of the both plots is based to four classes. It seems that K-means plot shows the different clusters more clearly than the plot that is based on the crime classification.
